John Angell, Esq.

Ben M. Angel (no relation) notes: Could not find anything confirming title specifically to John Angell as "Lord of Temple Ewell". He did have ownership (second generation, continuing to another John Angell who died in 1784 without heir) of a manor, formerly owned by the Knights Templar, at Temple Ewell, Kent, according to British History Online:

The manor of Temple Ewell, with the appropriation and advowson of the vicarage appendant,

• after the dissolution of the order of knights hospitallers, in king Henry the VIIIth.'s reign, remained in the hands of the crown, till king Edward VI. in his 5th year, granted them to Edward, lord Clinton and Saye, lord high admiral, and of his privy council, to hold in capite, (fn. 5) and
• he within a few months afterwards reconveyed them to the crown,
• where they staid but till the next year, when the king granted them to Sir William Cavendish, to hold in like manner,
• who the same year alienated them to Sir Richard Sackville, chancellor of the court of augmentations,
• who in the beginning of queen Elizabeth's reign alienated them to Winifred, marchioness of Winchester, and
• she in the 24th year of it joined with other trustees in the sale of them to Thomas Digge and William Boys,
• who quickly afterwards passed them away to John Daniell, whose two daughters and coheirs carried them in marriage to John Mabb and William Wiseman,
• who at the latter end of that reign joined in the sale of them to Mr. Robert Bromley, mercer, of London, and
• he about the beginning of king James I.'s reign, passed them away by sale to William Angell, of London, clerk of the acatery to that king, whose ancestor resided in Northamptonshire in king Henry the VIIth.'s reign, and bore for his arms, Or, five lozenges in fess, azure, surmounted of a bendlet, gules; and in his descendants, resident at Crowhurst, in Surry, for many successive generations, (fn. 6)
• they continued down to John Angell, esq. who was of Stockwell, in Middlesex, and died possessed of them in 1784, unmarried, and
• by his will devised them to Mr. Benedict Brown, his next heirgeneral, in default of lineal male issue, from his greatgrandfather William Angell, esq. of Crowhurst,
• subject to which proviso, Mr. Brown soon afterwards alienated this manor of Ewell, alias Temple Ewell, with the rectory impropriate, and the advowson of the vicarage appendant, to William Osborne, esq. of London, M. D. who at times resides here at Old Park-place, a house which he has sitted up and enlarged for that purpose on this estate, and
• he is the present possessor of them. A court leet and court baron is held for this manor.
